In this March 25, 2013 photo, San Zaw Htwe adjusts a portrait of Independence hero Gen. Aung San in his room in Yangon, Myanmar. The former political prisoner will turn 39 on Saturday, March 30, the second anniversary of the day President Thein Sein took office and pledged to transform Myanmar from a military dictatorship to a free-market democracy. Thein Sein’s administration has made remarkable progress toward that goal, but at a price that San Zaw Htwe knows only too well: forgetting the past. (AP Photo/Gemunu Amarasinghe)
